Quoted:
My old GI Joes would have loved having that! GI Joe = 1/6 scale The gun linked = 1/2 scale Big difference in size..... A company called 21st Century Toys launched a 1/6th revolution in the late 90's, and by 2003 you could find just about any weapon for your GI Joe, produced from about 5 different companies. 21 Century was bought out by Jak's Pacific, in the mid 00's, and quality plummeted along with popularity. Soon after they nearly stopped making weapon sets, which some(Me included) called a good thing. Dragon Models put out the best product overall. But they were very limited in what they produced. The 1/2 scale M-16 linked is more of a specialty item, aimed at the adult collector. Keep in mind it was hand made out of what looks like Brass, Zinc, and plastic. Truly one of a kind, and made in very limited numbers. I'm tempted to buy one myself....
